Spanish tennis player Rafael Nadal's fourteen French Open titles hold numerous records in the all-time and Open Era categories for tennis, with his longtime rival Roger Federer calling it "one of the greatest achievements in sport".[1] He holds a 112–4 record at the event.

Nadal's most recent title came at the 2022 edition in which he defeated Casper Ruud in the final.[2][3] From 2005 to 2014, he won 9 out of 10 French Open titles and from 2017 to 2022, he won 5 out of 6 French Open titles. In all 14 finals, he has never been taken to five sets.

In 2021, a statue was erected at the site of the tournament, Stade Roland Garros, in honor of his achievements there.[4]
